After attending Drew for 14 years, I can confidently say I would not have wanted to go anywhere else, even though it wasn't technically a choice given to me. I've benefited greatly from the education and opportunities that Drew has provided. Being able to fuel and expand my academic knowledge while also engaging in art practices has been a gift that I would never trade. As someone who came from a family with an artsy background, I am grateful that I've been awarded the chance to attend a school that recognizes the irrefutable value of exposing children to the arts. Drew has also always made sure its students are prepared for our future, whether that be through annual college tour trips, next steps boot camps, or countless STEAM Career Days. I believe the skills that I've learned, opportunities I've taken, and experiences Drew has given me will have a significant impact on my future and my ability to succeed, which is exactly what I intend to do.
